I'm an Airbnb Superhost. I agree with the new rules; guests shouldn't have to feel like cleaners.
I'm an Airbnb Superhost, and I support the new rules on guest chores. My guests pay to enjoy their vacation, not spend their last morning cleaning.
Elana Rabinowitz, an Airbnb Superhost with a perfect 4.9-star rating, has expressed her support for Airbnb's new policy that limits what hosts can ask guests to do before checking out. Rabinowitz, who has been renting her Hudson Valley home for five years and holds a 4.97 average rating, believes that guests should not feel like they are completing a checklist upon departure.
She argues that turning off lights and returning the key should be the only expectations, as cleanings fees and cleanliness ratings remain in place. Rabinowitz, who has not required strict cleaning policies since 2025, maintains that the majority of her guests are respectful and leave her property in excellent condition. She appreciates the recent Airbnb policy change, as it eliminates potential conflicts with property managers over cleaning schedules and focuses on providing guests with a pleasant experience.
